Design Ideas for Laundry Room Makeover

What
started out to be an organized and easy laundry room makeover turned
into a costly project in a matter of minutes. A few days ago I
decided to redesign the laundry room and thought the project
would come together and be completed in a few days.

My design
consisted of moving the laundry appliances from the mudroom to a hall
closet. I drew out a design that would allow me to have a private
laundry room. Then the mudroom would feature oak cabinets and
additional storage with shelves to feature home decorations.

So
I started my laundry room makeover project today.

Removed
the clothing racks and shelves from the hall closet.

Patched
the holes in the walls and sanded them so walls were smooth

Removed
the faded Berber carpeting and padding.

I
was hoping to find hardwood flooring under the carpet pad but instead
I found a half inch sheet of plywood. I called my friend to have a
look and to see if I should remove the plywood. He suspected that
there was hardwoods underneath and we removed them only to find that
there must have been a water leak because the hardwood floor had
rotted out.

This rotted wood discovery is not good because the floor is not strong
enough to support a double stack washer and dryer. In fact it is
dangerous. At the moment my laundry room project
has been scraped because I must fix the floor where there was a water
leak.

So
going forward the double stack washer and dryer will be installed in
the mudroom and neighbor will install oak cabinets to conceal the
look of the appliances. This will make my side entrance more eye
appealing and welcoming.
